• You need to sign up for your presentation and judging via a signup link provided (to be emailed out to all registrants) by 1 PM on Saturday, February 21, 2015.
• Submit a brief/one-to-two sentence description of your project when you sign up your team for presentation.
• Leave adequate time to prepare your slide-deck and refine your presentation.
• Know that Live Demos Rule! AND YOU MUST ALSO EXPLAIN how your solution meets user needs, is truly innovative and able to be implemented!!!
• The initial round of judging will be done “Science Fair” style. Following completion of coding, teams will be given time to time to set up their exhibition tables before judging begins.
• Teams will then be visited by judges and given up to 3 minutes to demo your hack.
• You are responsible for setup (though there will be help) and providing your presentations to the organizers.
• Final judging for teams moving forward from the “Science Fair”: 4 minute presentation, plus 3 minutes of Q&A—not to exceed total 8 minutes including setup.
• Brevity rocks! The judges retain the right to cut you short.
